Description Elias Probst 2008-07-18 00:39:38 UTC

Version:           SVN r834059 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If you enable some options in the settings of the digital clock (e.g. 'Show Date' and 'Show Timezone'), there is too much text for the applet.

But the applet doesn't resize accordingly, instead it cuts the text on the right/left edge (see attached screenshot).

I've just noticed, this layout issue is gone, as soon as you restart plasma.
So it's just there directly after adding the applet to the panel.
Makes the bug being not that worse as I've initially thought ;-)

Plasma Digital Clock Space Issue

Comment 4 Dario Andres 2008-07-20 01:55:21 UTC

I think I have some related problem:
I placed my digital clock on a top panel (without a task manager) and the clock takes a lot of space in the panel. It doesn't adjust to its content.
See the attached screenshot

I forgot to mention: I'm using KDE 4.0.99 (RC1+) in ArchLinux

This is already described in bug#164317 and as Aaron J. Seigo told me, going to be fixed by using another layout strategy in the panels.

SVN commit 885323 by sebas:

Correctly update the size when the date string has changed

Until now, it would lag one update (which can be the initial one giving
a bad first impression) behind when determining its minimumwidth in the
panel. It correctly takes as much space as needed right after startup
and also after config changes.
